Robust Dutch cheese crafted from pasteurized cow’s milk in North Holland’s UNESCO-recognized Beemster Polder. Revered by cheese connoisseurs, it boasts complex, deep flavors of butterscotch, whiskey, and toasted pecan, with subtle caramel undertones. Its firm, crumbly texture is studded with crunchy tyrosine crystals, delivering a delightful palate surprise, while retaining a creamy mouthfeel unique to Beemster’s nutrient-rich milk. This hard, extra-aged Gouda has a deep ochre interior and a bold, tangy profile with 20% less salt than other Dutch cheeses.
